I don't say Bomb Proof lightly. I ride him in the Ocala forest all the time, About 4 weeks ago I turned a corner and was 50 feet from a mama bear and her 2 cubs she looked at us and we looked at her. Everybody was relaxed so I pushed Bubba a few steps forward and he went then we stopped and waited for the mama and her cubs to go back into the woods then we walked back to the trailer.I walked him into a herd of dear in San Falasco park we cross water bridges etc. He ponys other horses and is a real easy keeper will sell for less to right home
